I've been drawn to Okorafor's work since "Noor," and now I'm equally compelled by her larger vision/project for Nigerian literature and Africanfuturism. And now with a title like this? Ready!

Akwaeke Emezi demonstrates how Nigeria's contemporary writers turn our conceptual realities around. They offer a YA novel that doesn't condescend, but more, one which shows that we should not "walk away" from Omelas, but perhaps "Stay and Hunt."

Why have so few read Soyinka? And can we find hope through his cynical dramas? I admit I am a victim of the myth-making around me which has made Soyinka and other African writers largely invisible.

We introduce some approaches to Nigerian literature, offer a bevy of African writers, and explore how one of Nigeria's most powerful can write her own modest letter to humanity.

This YA story is at once a serious look at repressed trauma (personal and societal) and a sensitive examination of diversity and compassion. A wonderful introduction to community and responsibility.

Soyinka's famous short play about a prophet who sells his followers belief in social advancement, swindling them along the way. A marvelous challenge to the foundations for our ethics.

What utopia? And underneath our complacency, as ever, are monsters we refuse to see or name.

The English and the African-English mix beautifully, as do the Igbo beliefs and Nigerian life, the themes of loss, love, fate, hope, and sacrifice are universal, but still, the characters and story did not fully capture my imagination.
